Sevilla team know that they really cannot afford another defeat as they have
only three points after 3 rounds. The beat 3-0 Gladbach in the opening
game, lose in Turin 2-0 against Juve and suffered an injury time defeat
to Man City at the Etihad. That win saw City move ahead of
Sevilla in the group standings. Since then Sevilla have had mixed
fortunes domestically, thrashing Getafe 5-0 but slipping to a 2-1 defeat
at Villarreal (their fourth defeat in 10 league games), to leave them
11th in the La Liga table.
Unai Emery will be without Gameiro as he picked up a hamstring injury in the defeat to Villarreal on Saturday. Fernando Llorente could well start in place of the Frenchman - while there are doubts about goalkeeper Beto and midfielder Ever Banega.

Manchester City have won two of their first three games, including a dramatic
late victory over Sevilla in the reverse fixture. In addition to this
last gasp winner aat Etihad, the Citizens also needed a very late goal
to win 2-1 at Gladbach whilst in their opening group match at home to
Juventus they suffered a 2-1 setback.
Sergio Aguero and David Silva are both still out for City meaning Wilfried Bony is set to continue up front. Zabaleta is injured while Fabian Delph and Gael Clichy are back in full training, but this fixture may come too soon for the pair. Raheem Sterling should return to the starting XI have been dropped to the bench last time out.
Man City have failed to keep a clean sheet in 17 of their last 18 UCL matches. Furthermore, they have lost on their last three trips to Spain in the Champions League, all by a single goal margin.
